Ownership interests have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent. (2) On 15 March 2005, the Group announced it had entered into agreement to increase its stake in the share capital of MobiFon S.A. in Romania by 79% to approximately 99% and to acquire 100% of the share capital of Oskar Mobil a.s. in the Czech Republic. The transaction is expected to complete shortly.

In the absence of acquired interests, this proportionate ownership will vary slightly from quarter to quarter depending on the underlying mix of net additions across each of these networks.
